Leinster House - Dublin, Ireland - The Parliament of Ireland
Leinster House was originally the ducal palace of the Dukes of Leinster. Since 1922, it is a complex of buildings, of which the former ducal palace is the core, which house Oireachtas Éireann, its members and staff. The most recognizable part of the complex, and the 'public face' of Leinster House, continues to be the former ducal palace at the core of the complex.
Names change and since we are talking history here, we have to refer back to when Leinster House was named Kildare House after James Fitzgerald, the Earl of Kildare, who commissioned it to be built between 1745 and 1747. After bringing this building out to life, Fitzgerald said that fashion will move in the direction that he creates, and we should all never deny that within an unfashionable area in the city, this building made it a desired one. After becoming the Duke of Leinster, the house was then renamed to become the Leinster House.
The design of this building was done by a German architect and it is even believed that it was inspired by the White House in the United States but no one could be totally sure about such a piece of information.
Later on, this building - Leinster House - was sold by the third Duke of Leinster to the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) which its main goal was to improve the conditions of people and there are even different projects and public institutions done these days that owe their origins to the RDS, such as the National Botanic Gardens, the National College of Art and Design, the Dublin Veterinary College, the National Library, the National Gallery, and the National Museum.
Before Leinster House became the seat of the two Houses of the Oireachtas (the National Parliament), it has been the place to host several different events such as those historic ones which where done in this building as well as the great industrial exhibition which opened in Leinster House.
After being the responsibility of the Royal Dublin Society, the building welcomed new additions, such as the lecture theater which later on became the Dáil Chamber.
Tours are allowed inside the Leinster House for people to visit and know more about the history of this building and also get the chance to check it from the inside. There are walk-up guided tours for those living in the country as well as those visitors coming to Ireland, which are available on Mondays and Fridays - if the house is not sitting - at 10:20 AM and 2:30 PM; the thing is that you should show up and register first because the first 30 people to show at the Kildare St. gate are the ones to be taken through a free of charge tour. Through this tour, one will get introduced to the history of the building and know about the traditions of Ireland's rich parliamentary heritage. Sometimes, if it is possible, the tour could include a visit to the public galleries of Dáil and Seanad debating chambers. The whole tour will last for about 30 minutes only, which is considered a good amount of time to get going with other attractions in the city.
It might feel astonishing to see this building both from the inside as well as outside and start thinking that it was once a home and that people used to live in such a magnificent place and not just work or go for specific reasons or specific problems to be solved - that was exactly one of the different thoughts that never left our minds during our visit to the place and while we were shooting this video.
The Leinster House in Dublin is located in Kildare st, Dublin 2, right next door to the National Museum of Archaeology, which is another stop in Dublin that you might want to make during your visit to the city - along with those other historical places and attractions which you have already placed in your list of things to do in Dublin.
People always get mesmerized by the old historical buildings from the outside before they even get the chance to enter and see what it holds out for them inside. Leinster House was the same, it is a beautiful historical building to be viewed from the outside, yet one will still receive lots of information once he/she enters and the best thing is that due to security reasons, people are not allowed to take pictures or even bring their belongings along - they are left in secure room - so people will pay attention to everything being said and shared by the tour guide and will also pay attention to the place in general.
In Dublin, the capital city of Ireland, there are different places for tourists to visit and the most significant of these, there is the Trinity College ( the Molly Malone statue ( the Dublinia Viking Museum ( the Merrion square garden ( and one could also visit some famous streets in the city like O'Connell street ( or Grafton street (
